Your setup appears to be missing the ' SSLSessionCache ' & ' SSLSessionCacheTimeout ' directive in your SSL conf *** Example: *** SSLSessionCache shmcb:q:/my_path/logs/ssl_scache(512000) SSLSessionCacheTimeout 300 *** Example: *** -----Original Message----- From: Eben [mailto:eben@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 8:43 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: ssl on windows server 2003 I'm trying to get ssl working on a windows 2003 server box, and having some trouble with it. The server currently hosts about 50 sites using name based vhosts. I enabled one site on the box to use SSL via port 443. When I enable the SSLEngine directive for the one site, it works for about 10 minutes, and then Apache dies. Here are the specs: win server 2003 standard ed. apache 2.0.59 php 4.4.6 openssl 0.9.8d I configured everything according to this write-up: http://tud.at/programm/apache-ssl-win32-howto.php3 This is what I'm finding in the error log: [Mon May 07 13:35:32 2007] [notice] Server built: Jul 27 2006 15:55:03 [Mon May 07 13:35:32 2007] [notice] Parent: Created child process 5824 [Mon May 07 13:35:33 2007] [warn] Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache] [Mon May 07 13:35:34 2007] [notice] Child 5824: Child process is running [Mon May 07 13:35:34 2007] [notice] Child 5824: Acquired the start mutex.
